[Ah. That was the difficulty and something that Alicent could not fully admit to a stranger. She didn't know herself well enough to say what she liked or felt passionate about. Duty consumed her and had always done so since she was young. Freshly arrived at court, she was encouraged by her father to care for the sick king. A few years later, the next king, she was pushed to offer him comfort after the death of his wife. Once wed to him, there was only his care to focus on, as well as her children.
Painting, reading, sewing, these were activities for unburdened maidens. Alicent truly only existed in her obligation to her family and the kingdom.]
I fear I cannot paint. [She was embarrassed to admit it.] I suppose a library. There are many in the Hightower.
